What is the origin of the term "kiddie fiddler" and how is it used?
"kiddie fiddler" is a slang and highly derogatory term that appeared in the late 20th century, combining "kiddie," meaning child, with "fiddler," an old slang euphemism for a sexual offender. The phrase is a vivid metaphor highlighting sexual abuse of children. It is used almost exclusively in informal speech, media, and online discussions to label or condemn someone who molests children. The term is extremely offensive, never neutral, and conveys strong moral condemnation and disgust.
Examples
The convicted kiddie fiddler got extra years for multiple victims.
